I guess W was brilliant too!  Good to know.

And that's why they celebrate him like the Messiah? He won an election?

Wow. Conservatives have much higher standards, don't they.

*scratching my head*  I don't get it.  If they think Obama's the Messiah because he won an election why didn't they like Bush?  He won two elections.  So does that make Bush better than their god? 

I have no idea; I've never been involved in one, but I guess I've always assumed that was the case. I've never seen the point in not going all out - if you want homoeroticism, why stop at looking?

Leauki:

Not what, but whether he'll do anything deserving. I think I've been fairly clear about that so far, particularly in the article I wrote. I'm not sure why you want me to be an Obama fan so badly, but just because you want it doesn't mean it's true.

I still think any definition of brilliant that requires selflessness is unusually specific, and you won't budge me from that.

Here's a good example.  But Bush is an idiot.

goodness!  looks like an attempted b&e to me.

seriously...

his interview with al-arabiya's hisahm melhem seems to me if not brilliant (altho discussing muddy waters during its course oughta qualify all on its own), it was--at very least--inspired.

while i have no firsthand (heh) evidence to provide, it appears you may be confusing a circle jerk with 'cum on a cookie'.

Daschle & Killefer?
